Absolutely exquisite Roaring 20s Art Deco chromolitho print: 1927 Greeting card / Christmas card design examples in 15 astounding, vibrant, gorgeous colors! From a magical Xmas Fairy Princess in a hot pink psychedelic flower gown, to 3 Wise Men & castle, plus a colorful Arts and Crafts bungalow. All of these amazing images are presented on thick, yummy, textured ivory card stock. Stunning!
The colors are unbelievably vivid, almost florescent—pinks, blues, greens, oranges, yellows, and gray to jet black, 15 distinct colors in all, in perfect registration.
It’ll be hard to choose which side of this incredible chromolithograph to display; maybe start with one side for the holidays, then switch to the reverse? Or, choose the double-mat option, and display between 2 sheets of glass…regardless, both sides look fabulous when contrasted against a black mat or frame, Art Deco or otherwise.
Taken from the first edition of “Achievements in Photo-Engraving and Letter-Press Printing,” a monumental & rare 1927 trade publication devoted to every aspect of the fascinating world that was American commercial printing & photo engraving in the Roaring Twenties.
